What’s New in Apple iOS 17.5 Beta Update
Third Party Apps
The biggest update has come for European countries which were demanding third party apps apart from Apple’s App Store for a long time. In such a situation, Apple has given the option of third-party app only for European countries. For this, users will be able to install third party apps from the internet itself. Although there is a demand for this feature all over the world, the European country had also imposed a heavy fine on Apple due to which Apple had to bring this feature.
Apart from Apple’s App Store, to download and install an app, you will now be able to go to the website of the concerned app and download and install that app. This is called “web distribution”. To install any third party app, those apps will have to follow all the terms and conditions of Apple. The company will not be lax in its security guidelines due to the convenience of third party apps, which app developers will have to build the app as per their guidelines.
Apps can also be downloaded from those websites which the developers have registered by connecting to the App Store. It will also provide APIs for integration and functionality with Apple’s systems. However, no developer has listed the apps on it yet. Right now, there is little possibility of its coming soon, it is estimated that this facility may start after May.
